Melodious Accord, Inc. believes that melody is an unparalleled means of communication for human beings; that when we use our ears and voices we enrich our lives through creating communities of sound; and that singing together brings immediate benefits--physical, mental and spiritual--to those who join in this most participatory of all the arts.  Melodious Accord carries out its mission by presenting concerts and making recordings, providing opportunities for advanced study, and sponsoring Alice Parker activities.
